Corrie's Kylie: 'Gail's bribe won't work'

Paula Lane has discussed Coronation Street's upcoming bribe storyline, insisting that her character Kylie Turner will be unimpressed by Gail McIntyre's surprise scheme.

Next week's episodes of the Weatherfield soap see Gail (Helen Worth) resort to desperate measures to stop her son David (Jack P. Shepherd) from marrying Kylie, offering the troublemaker £1,000 to skip the wedding and leave town. She does so amid fears that Kylie is only with David to get her hands on Audrey's salon.

However, in an interview with Soaplife, Lane claimed that Kylie loves David too much to be swayed by Gail's money.

The actress explained: "Kylie has had troubles in her past which have contributed to the way she is now. She never thought anyone would ever ask her to marry them.

"Yes, David having the salon is a bit of a meal ticket but it's more of an added bonus to marry him. I think she really does love him too."

Of Gail's bribe, she added: "Put it this way, Kylie got £25,000 for Max, so £1,000 to give up a salon and someone she actually loves? No, definitely not."

Kylie and David's wedding day arrives in a double bill airing on Friday, April 8. However, whether the pair will make it down the aisle remains to be seen.
